I don’t want to buy tickets for someone else to get the LPs. Seems a bit strange that we cant buy more than one ticket with there being hundreds left.

Tayside Jambo Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 I don't get to many games, and had a low LP count, that's the way it goes. Got a ticket for Aberdeen as I am off the next two Saturdays, in doing so gets me above 10LP. Couldn't get a cup ticket despite the LP number being above 10. Emailed the ticket office and because the Celtic game is before the Aberdeen one the LP's don't count yet so therefore don't have enough for a ticket. I get the point and accept that I don't have enough LPs by the parameters set out by the club, and understand why they are not going on a full general sale, but I imagine there will have been others in similar boats who can only get to the odd game, might have been just below but with other games coming up get get enough to pick up a ticket. Annoying when you can see you have a number bigger than required but can't make use of them 😢 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LewisR5-1 Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 (edited) Don't know if this has been mentioned, the reason hearts are doing 10lp for this fixture and one per season ticket is because of the infiltration of old firm fans in our home end causing bother in previous games. Hearts fans allowing them to purchase tickets on their accounts. It's no surprise they've tried to combat this with this method of sale.

I would think Hearts fans with over 20 loyalty points would be more likely to not sell to Old Firm fans than someone with 3 loyalty points if that makes you feel better!

I get they have a security measure and need to follow protocol but as you say a bit of common sense perhaps, especailly since they can see full history of purchases etc for the past however many years I've had an account (10+ I would think.)

The people I was offering the references numbers for live abroad - they have more than 10 but less than 25 loyalty points so the 1 loyalty point they will get from that game won't make the slightest difference to their ability to get tickets for games. When they return to Scotland for a big game they invariably have to buy hospitality tickets such as for the New Year derby.

If someone using your reference number misbehaves and gets arrested, you’re risking getting a ban or suspension yourself, especially if it turns out to be an opposition fan.
